Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Yes ... We've got an in with Emoni now ... He is also friends with Ty & Skyy.

If he joins them, his name will need to be pronounced ee-MOE-nye. "The Ty, Skyy, and Emoni Show"!

Emoni would be a beast with this coaching staff and culture. Just don't see how we can bring him in without RJ or Coleman getting frustrated.

Love RJ but I want guys that welcome competition. Im obviously not tuned in to the program like a lot of you guys. I guess he already has his fill of competition there with Goode and Rodgers.

I think it is more about filling in roster needs at this point and so not recruiting an additional 3 would be a deserved vote of confidence for RJ.

 

[BashCtIllini]

If we could get Emoni in the weight room and get him strong enough to where his clothes don't make his back hunch, he wasn't ranked in the top 5 for no reason.

FG%, 3pt%
38.6%, 32.9%
39.7%, 32.8%

Which is Fr. Emoni Bates and which is super Sr. Trent Frazier?

We don’t want Emoni Bates tf

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I am just now finding out about Kofi and don't want to look through all the pages.

Anyone with street cred have a quick update?

 

[Thompson]

Also, there is one kid in the big ten that could come back from the draft and enter the portal. We would be a major player if this happens

EJ? Lol is Christie staying in the draft? Can’t see him going back to Sparty if he comes back to college

This spider has a web!!!

Amazing

 

[LvilleILL]

If you don't want a guy as talented as Emoni Bates, not sure what to tell you...

 

[IlliniCub 16]

Omar Payne has super long arms and that didn't work so maybe the staff wants to try the other end of that spectrum?

 

[sacraig]

Just got done with my day of meetings. Does anyone know if we are a serious player for Bryce Hopkins?

 

[warhog6g]

Isn’t Kris Murray in the draft? After the SFC debacle I can’t imagine him coming here but still…would take

"What you mean, 'we', whiteman?"

Sources tell me that Hopkins was spotted in a Brian Cook jersey today at the YMCA ...

 

[TheFameProtector]

Google would give you a quick hit.

How do you Google a person you don’t know, Mr Sassafras?

 

[IllinifaninIL]

Emoni Bates and Efton Reid, suppose they would suffice.

Try this: right click on the image and select "Search image with Goggle Lens"

Results are not guaranteed. But have worked more than 80% of the time

 

[Heisenbobble]

Nah, that ain't happening. I'm no insider, mind you, but I can't fathom that one.

RJ can play the 2 and if he wants the NBA too that may not be a bad thing. RJ could play the 3 too. Also why not Skyy, RJ, Bates, Coleman, Dain...or Skyy, RJ, Goode or Ty, Bates, Hawk. I would think they want to be around the best players they can and win champoinships

Christie is done with MSU, have to assume we’ll at least give him a shot.

Wouldn't say "ain't happening" quite yet ...

Fair enough, but I thought I read in this very thread that his AAU team affiliation kinda prevents him (and his bro) from considering the Beloved. *shrug* I'm happy to be wrong, though!
